And Will Harris might be melting down for the AstrosRough night for Arrieta. Really rough night for Sale.
Pinch hit single in his first ab against Arrieta.Josh Bell getting called up by the Pirates. I'd assume Ben was holding out for him in a Lester trade. I'd love to know what their final offer was.

9-7. And heading into the inning, the Astros announcers gave the stat of Oakland being 0 for a lot when losing after 8 innings.Astros choke up a three-run lead in the ninth; Oakland up 8-7
Astros have the right people coming up, but that's going to be tough to return from9-7. And heading into the inning, the Astros announcers gave the stat of Oakland being 0 for a lot when losing after 8 innings.
Or not.Astros have the right people coming up, but that's going to be tough to return from
Surprisingly, it's Melvin, not Justin. The bad Upton is now the good Upton.Upton has been hotter than a fire cracker the past few weeks
I'm trying to remember if this was a trend. Were his pens in Miami bad?DD is gone, but the Tigers' bullpen woes continue. Man, they suck every year.
His World Series winning 1997 team had Rob Nen and his WHIP of 1.514 closing.I'm trying to remember if this was a trend. Were his pens in Miami bad?
Grand slam in his second.Pinch hit single in his first ab against Arrieta.
His contract is a bargain compared to what Heyward is offering the team. No chance he opts out.that's Lester's 2nd stinker in a row yes? hold on now on that contract.
Looking forward to watching the replay, kid has major power.Grand slam in his second.
Ah, damn. I was so hoping Lackey was getting traded for Bell in 2014.Looking forward to watching the replay, kid has major power.
Wow, long gone. Amazing that UT had him, Swihart, Owens, and BAll recruited ( among others I'm sure).
I read somewhere that good managers don't let their teams slump.Cubs are slumping
“@JeffPassan: The Cubs were 39-15 on June 4. They’re 13-20 since, the fourth-worst record in baseball over that time. A shockingly bad stretch for them.”I read somewhere that good managers don't let their teams slump.
Fox announcers (CJ Nitkowski, very good) were saying the Pittsburgh plan was to use Bell solely as a pinch-hitter this weekend, then ship him back down. He singled and hit a slam. Nitkowski was saying you don't send that kind of hitter back down, although with the break here they probably will.Love seeing that enthusiasm when he made contact. Just joy, no posturing.
Heyward is on pace to hit 8 HR this year to go along with an 80 OPS+. But he is a great fielder and a solid base runner and so let's pay him 184 million dollars. . . .His contract is a bargain compared to what Heyward is offering the team. No chance he opts out.
I was thinking more that RSN Dipository thread I dare not enter. That's disturbing.This also belongs in the Where's Waldo thread. Lol.
I saw this play on the Giants broadcast. Jon Miller and partners had multiple angles and none showed the offending cheese dip ... leading to a few moments of Zapruder-style conspiracy talkWeird things happen when Don Orsillo is around.

? That's the been the number font since forever, and still is.The player number on the vintage late 70s Angels uniforms (wearing tonight) is the exact same font use on the 70s Sox clown suits. Never noticed this before.
Huh. I was under the impression the modern numbers have a second background/border, but I guess not.? That's the been the number font since forever, and still is.
Oh ok- no you may be right on that, I didnt dive that deep on it; was genuinely confused because I thought you just meant the general font style of the numbers. Carry on!Huh. I was under the impression the modern numbers have a second background/border, but I guess not.
